Should i do an MBA for fun?

(This is for a lower top 10 school) Weighing pros and cons for me personally: Pros: Lots of fun and meeting new people Cons: immediate career progression is slower, could have a lot of fun in 2 years doing other things?, i have to take the GMAT Neutral: Financially (firm is paying, but then i wont be able to recruit elsewhere without paying the debt back)
